Herb Quality

[Thelittleone]

So, I'm currently in the process of leveling up my Survival so that I can get a better quality sling. Right now its at 21 and I have a q11 sling I've been using for a while now. I have some really good quality leather to work with, but currently the highest level herbs I'm finding is q20-25~ or so. I know that it depends on the area, but I've been watching as I raise my Survival, that I start finding higher quality herbs. My only question is: if I keep leveling my survival will it keep raising the quality of herbs in those areas or are they capped out at a certain point and I'll have to travel the world and back to find some really high quality herbs?

Also, I keep hearing people say that they use slings over bows because bows are harder to aim with and you shouldn't start using them until you have marksman at 30, at least. What do they mean when they say bows are harder to aim with? Does it take longer for the aim to fill up? Is it worth switching to a bow at a certain point? Thanks in advance.

The QL is capped by the soil.

You can effectively switch to bow at 20-25, but be prepared to wait a bit while hunting.

Alright, thanks! So I'll probably stick with a sling for a while then.

One more question: how rare/difficult is it to find the higher quality soils/strings? Like I said, I found one spot that keeps going up as I level my Survival so I'll have to go and dig there and see what the soil quality is at. (Highest so far was 27 with level 21 Survival.) But in the case that I need to keep looking, just curious how long its going to take me to find a good quality area.

Kill a bear, dry it's hide, craft hide straps from it, use them as string to make a sling.
